Out of Canada, Into Kenya - Shawn's Journal

Crazy Week

Just when it seems like life couldn’t get any more crazy, there’s a week like this has been.

We found out on Sunday that my cousin was tragically killed early that morning. It was the type of thing that you hear about in the news but find it easy to distance yourself from - deaths like that don’t happen to people you know, let alone your own family. It’s already become something real, though, and as we travel to the funeral this week, it will become even more real once we’re with the rest of the family. Please pray for our family and the healing that needs to take place - it’s going to be a long, hard road.

In other news, we’re getting closer to leaving - even closer than we had thought! On Sunday evening, we discovered that the 5th of June is a Saturday, not a Sunday like we had thought. All along, we were planning on attending Church Sunday morning and then leaving from there for the airport. Our flight, however, is on Saturday instead.

Finally, the site is almost finished. There are still a few details that we need to take care of - if something doesn’t look quite right, chances are we’ll get it fixed this week. We tested out the online donation system and it works really well - feel free to try it yourself :-)
